Bratislava, March 10 (TASR) - The Slovak National Party (SNS) announced at an extraordinary press conference on Wednesday that it has recommended its nominee in the post of Construction and Regional Development Minister Igor Stefanov not to resign despite a call issued by Prime Minister Robert Fico (Smer-SD) the day before.
Stefanov, who was present at the press conference along with SNS chair Jan Slota and party first deputy chair Anna Belousovova, said that he doesn't see any reason to resign over issues, for which his predecessor is responsible.
Fico called on Stefanov to step down due to failures that the Supreme Audit Office (NKU) has found in the effectiveness of the use of funds spent under the so-called notice-board tender.
